It's not _all_ bad, because of this (from http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe)
# Mailing list advertising policy
#
# This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
#
# The Debian Linux mailing lists accept commercial advertising for
# payment. We offer a fee waiver if you can show us the canceled check for
# a $1000 (U.S.) or more donation to "Software in the Public Interest"
# (SPI). One donation per advertisement, please. If you don't wish to
# donate, simply post your advertisement to the list, and the operator of
# the mailing lists will bill you $1999 (U.S). The list operator will
# donate this amount, minus the expense of collecting it, to SPI. Please
# note that the lists are distributed automatically - messages are
# generally not read or checked in any way before they are distributed.
#
# By the act of posting your advertisement you agree to accept
# responsibility for the fee, you agree to indemnify the mailing-list
# operator against any legal claims from you or others in connection with
# your advertisement, and you agree to pay any legal and business expenses
# incurred in collecting late payment. Our liability to you is limited to
# a good-faith effort to deliver your message.
#
# Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related
# advertisements. You must consult the mailing-list operator in advance of
# posting for any reduction or fee waiver.
